You told me yesterday I should keep De la Rosa and Floyd but should try to add Ogando…. Just discovered that Ogando is still listed as a RP in my league. Would you drop Street for him? My other RP is Feliz and my other starters are Billingsley, Marcum, Hanson, and Pineda. Would you add Britton for any of the above SP?

I have 10 spots for hitters but I have 11 hitters plus utley Coming off the DL. I would like your thoughts on dropping a player to make room for utley and a player to make room for a PoD spot. My team is: santana, texiera, kinsler, aramis, tulo, Kemp, rasmus, Bruce rollins, smoak, hill and utley. non-keeper. Thanx!

I’m considering combining Chris Carpenter and Alfonso Soriano in a package deal to an owner desperate for outfielders. Hate to trade away my first pitcher selected and a guy as hot as Soriano, but I feel his value won’t get much higher and I don’t want to wait til he’s hurt. Do you think now is a good time to trade away these guys, or should I hold off?

Billy Butler isn’t serving(hahahaha……sorry) the hits like he should. He isn’t even the best 1B on my team right now (Kendrick, Moreland). Is time to hire someone esle or keep him because none of the silver is missing (another butler joke)?

Arrieta’s already garnering a good deal of fantasy attention and it’s only a matter of time before he won’t be on any waiver wires. Remember, this guy was considered a high-end prospect so this isn’t exactly shocking.

Following my thoughts of trading Beckett for a good OF I was countered with- I give, Nolasco and Longoria and I get Kemp and Street. I figure Longoria and Kemp are pretty even and then it is down to Nolasco for Street. Thoughts?

Young. Swisher’s a mess right now and he’s historically hit for a low AVG. I see last year as an anomaly more than anything else. Swisher might hit a few more homers but I think Young has a much better chance of rebounding to the .275 level than Swisher does.

im in a 10 player NL only and we are only aloud 2 players on DL and i just had brandon beachy just get injuried and was wondering if i should just drop jose contreas to put beachy on DL do you think contreas will get saves for phil when back over madison or should i drop him my 2 DL are contreas and lidge atm

I’d drop Contreras. If Madson continues to pitch well, who’s to say that Contreras will even close again upon his return? There was a limited window for Contreras to get saves anyway and now that Madson is handling the role rather effectively, I wouldn’t be surprised if Contreras doesn’t pick up a single save from here on out. Plus, you have Lidge, who will definitely close once he proves fully healthy.

I am sorry for the irrelevance of this question, but it is still important to know if anyone has has this experience. So this guy in my league that I got Bautista from, claims, that someone hacked his account and traded Bautista to me. I have no idea what to do, because I love having Bautista, and how can I believe him? Thanks.

Sounds like he’s having a change of heart now after seeing what Bautista has done over the last few days. I’d consult the rest of the league members to get their take but ultimately would probably say “Too bad.”

With Albert Pujols starting at third base the other night, Do yo think he will get enough time there to become eligible for fantasy purposes? Having Albert replace the snoozefest that is Aramis Ramirez at third would be Awesome!

I emailed you over the weekend about my Vanilla League with a 30 move limit and my concern over Big Erv. I need Ks and you advised me to pick up Dempster up someone else got him before me. Could you rank Hammel, Arroyo, Narveson, and Colon.

In a 10-team H2H league, a good friend offered up Pujols, McGehee and Sabatthia (or possibly Lincecum) for Adrian Gonzalez and J. Bautista. Honestly, my team is killing it right now, so I wasn’t even considering the trade at first. However, I’ve been winning HR, RBI and OPS by ridiculous margins and my pitching categories are a little hit or miss. Good deal or putting friendship in jeopardy?

I don’t like it. One can make a strong argument that you’re giving up the two best players in the deal here and I’d much rather hold onto the two elite hitters than trade for one elite hitter, a mid-range hitter and an ace pitcher.

Hey Big Z whats your thoughts of Crawford. Should it be long till hes back to becoming Carl Crawford? Also where will he likely be moved up to once he gets going, 2 hole? Reason being, im in need of AVG, runs ribs and have Saves and pop to deal, and have been offered: Crawford for Stanton Hanrahan , OR Crawford for Heyward Soria . Which/ any you like? Only keep 4 too, im quite tempted. Thanks

Considering his track record, I can’t possibly imagine Crawford struggling all year…I think it’s more mental than anything else. Heard Bobby V mention on the Sunday Night Baseball telecast of Yanks/Sox that Crawford’s mechanics are off so that might be another issue. Regardless, I’d be very happy to buy low on him and I do like the first trade. Wouldn’t deal Heyward/Soria though.

Hernandez has been red hot but I still consider Napoli to be the more appealing long-term option. But if there’s a way to add Hernandez to fill-in for the short-term without dropping Napoli, I’m all for it.
